“What?”
The police officer and Aurelia were stunned.
“Uncle, no—”
“Shut up!” Neil yelled at Aurelia.
Aurelia’s heart dropped, and she felt aggrieved and an abrupt pinch in her nose.
“This is the open sea, right?”
“Yes…” The police officer frowned. “It is.”
“You’re responsible for sending this person out of the border, right?”
“Yes.”

Each of Neil’s sentences was correct, so the police officer could only nod.
Neil took a step forward and wrapped an arm around Aurelia’s shoulder.
As the petite girl was embraced, she could not help the reddening of her eyes as Neil’s arm felt like a warm and
safe haven.
“She’s my fiancee! She should leave with me!”
…
Aurelia sat by the window. It was still the endless sea under her, and she still felt dizzy. What was different was that
she had been in a boat an hour earlier and was currently in a helicopter an hour later.
“Take a nap if you’re tired.” The man next to her tossed her a blanket. “I’ll wake you up when we arrive.”
Aurelia shrank into herself, not daring to speak. She peeked at the moody man.
Neil had landed the helicopter on the deck and had taken her into his arms, announcing that she was his fiancee
and taking her away before everyone’s eyes… Everything felt like a dream.
Happiness seeped into the bottom of her heart like honey, yet she dared not share it with anyone. She could only
enjoy it alone.
It was just that she did not know why he was pulling a long face. Was he angry at her?
Aurelia recalled that night and blushed.
“Uncle…” She held the glass, her fingers tapping against it anxiously, and her voice was barely above a whisper.
“Actually, actually, I’ve wanted to explain it to you. I… I drank too much that night and didn’t manage to control

She looked up with her starry eyes. “You’re an adult. You… wouldn’t mind it too much, right?”
Neil winced and turned to look at her. He was taken aback. What was Aurelia talking about?
Adult? Would not mind it? She wanted to recompense him?
Who was this girl looking down on!?
Forget that nothing had happened that night. Even if something did happen, he did not need her recompensing
him!
Neil felt even more choked with anger. It felt as if all his blood was rushing to his heart to give him a heart attack.
He stood up abruptly and went to her seat with one wide stride. With both hands against the back of the seat,
Aurelia was securely trapped between him and the seat.
Her expressive eyes were timid and surprised.
“Uncle, you…”
“Let me ask you.” Neil’s voice was deep, like the cello. “What do you think of me?”
